    Among the various arguments clearly showing that Trevor’s argument is false, one is perhaps neglected, even more so when looking at the doctors’ estimates of time and skill needed: we don’t know which organ the killer intended to take - did he perhaps just take the first he could get his hands on?
    So the qualified colleague who in 1888 did the procedure in three and a half minutes did so targeting a specific organ. We don’t know that the killer did that.
    That's an excellent point.

    Another consideration is that all of these alleged organ thieves would need to use a knife similar enough to the killer's that none of the autopsy doctors would notice the difference. The organ thief would also need to not show significantly different skill in their cutting.

A huge risk that they had absolutely no need to take because they could have stepped have removed organs at night, after the autopsy (with there being no further scrutiny of the body) under cover of darkness, with no one expected in an out.
      For that matter, a mutilated body would be one of the worst choices for finding specific, intact organs. At a minimum, there would be less useful organs than from other bodies.
